One Tiny Powerful Habit to Build Self Trust with Sugar

I celebrated my half birthday last week — 53 and a half, (highly recommend celebrating half birthdays by the way). I spent the day baking. A spiced apple cake with brown butter frosting. Cookies for school lunches. The works. And here’s the thing that still blows my mind: I did all of that baking, with all that raw dough and frosting within arm’s reach, and I didn’t end up feeling sick or out of control. I had exactly what I intended to have. I followed through on my plan. Baking should be one of life’s simple joys. But for so many of us, it’s fraught. This tiny habit changes that.
